Get Involved
The support we offer to businesses in West Wales and the Valleys
Business Outreach

An important goal of the Circular Revolution project is to engage and support businesses within the region of West Wales and the Valleys in their journey towards adopting circular economy principles.
Why are we focusing on businesses in the West Wales and the Valleys region?
Circular Revolution is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund, which specifically aims to increase research & innovation and competitiveness for businesses in West Wales and the Valleys region. This targeted approach will enable the Circular Revolution to develop and provide comprehensive support for a significant number of Welsh businesses facing issues around unsustainable practices and activities.
HOW YOU CAN ENGAGE WITH US AT CIRCULAR REVOLUTION

How can your business get involved?
Led by the University of Exeter and Swansea University, Circular Revolution will deliver an outreach programme that aims not only to stimulate activity and knowledge-sharing around the Circular Economy, but also to identify and support companies that would benefit from the application of circular thinking within their own products/services, processes and business models.
